Amazon Redshift Serverless higher base capacity of 1024 RPUs is now available in additional AWS regions

Amazon Redshift Serverless higher base capacity of up to 1024 Redshift Processing Units (RPUs) is now available in the AWS Europe (Frankfurt) and Europe (Ireland) regions. Amazon Redshift Serverless measures data warehouse capacity in RPUs, and you pay only for the duration of workloads run in RPU-hours on a per-second basis. Previously, the highest base capacity was 512 RPUs. With the new higher base capacity of 1024 RPUs, you now have even more flexibility to support workloads of large complexity, processing terabytes or petabytes in size to accelerate data loading and querying based on your price performance requirements. You now have a base capacity range from 8 to 1024 RPUs in the two additional AWS regions.

The large base capacity of Amazon Redshift Serverless can improve performance for your workloads serving use cases, such as complex and long running queries, queries with large numbers of columns, queries with joins and aggregations requiring high memory, data lake queries scanning large amounts of data, and ingesting large datasets into the data warehouse.
